"Since the 14th of November, my workers have been missing from the silver mines, and some people who have seen them say that he saw them swallowed up by the black mire, and the poor man has now become so mad that he can no longer tell any useful news. I hope you will soon reach my territory and save the innocent souls of the land who are not loved by the gods..."

Yanan read the less than one-page letter in three times. He was now sitting on a station bench in Uther City, waiting for a carriage to the Viscount of Honbeck.

It was hard for him to find useful information in this large text, except for a little bit of filth and the location of a haunt. Yanan sighed and closed his eyes to listen carefully to the noise of the station.

"Two tickets to Radti, first come, first served." Yanan opened his eyes and walked towards the southwest corner of the station.

"Boss, are you going to Viscount Hombeck?"

"The carriage only goes to Radti City, little brother, if you want to go to Honbeck Town, you have to change the car, you can't get on the bus, and it only costs 500 silver to send it to Radti." The owner of the car stopped the carriage full of goods in front of Yanan.

It's so expensive! Yanan pondered for a moment, "Two tickets, go to Radti, and leave now." ”

"Okay, I'm keeping you safe and comfortable this time." The owner of the car was attentive to carry the bag for Yanan, but the moment he took over, he found that the bag was amazingly heavy, blushed and took a deep breath, and then reluctantly carried the travel bag to the carriage.

Yanan didn't want to bring so many things with him, but after several requests to accompany him on the mission were denied, Alfred began to prepare large bags of things for him, and after getting off the train in Bakir City, he personally put him on the train to Yuser.

"Ugh." Yanan sighed again, unable to see that guy was still a worried life.

"Dah." The owner waved his whip and the carriage set off.

The carriage drove slowly into the residential area, where the houses of the city were so narrowly spaced that shanty towns and random constructions were everywhere that everyone worked hard to cover them, and the sunlight could only penetrate the thin cracks of the street. Residents on the top floor only need to lay a few steel plates, and they can move freely between several floors, which is as complicated as an anthill. The carriage continued on, turning in front of a rust-red wall, which was only as chaotic as the residential area was, filled with chimneys, white mist roaming the streets, densely packed with shanty towns, and countless pipes and gears that allowed pedestrians to get where they wanted to go. Occasionally, a car drove by, two wheels larger than the body sandwiched the car in the middle, and the back of the car was carrying an iron box that was blowing clouds and spitting fog, which was very funny.

"It's really..."

"A great achievement of the human alchemy industry, right?" The owner took Yanan's words.

"Well, yes." Yanan was speechless for a while, but still agreed with the owner's conclusion.

"Visitors who first come to us in Uther are almost always amazed by the level of industry here, you see, how beautiful the huge gears and chimneys are."

The moment the vehicle drove out of the shantytown, rows of gears far higher than the surrounding buildings imprinted into Yanan's eyes, and next to each huge gear stood a chimney.

"Whew." The gear paused slightly, and the chimney in the center began to spew steam enough to obscure the sky, a few seconds later. The small chimneys around the area also began to spray white mist, and after a while, an imperceptible light rain began to fall in the sky.

"It's really beautiful." The owner of the car closed his eyes proudly.

"It's really beautiful, but what is the main production here?" Yanan was curious.

"Grain." The owner replied.

"Grain?" Yanan is incredible.

"We will also produce a little bit of steel, coal and so on, but the main thing is to produce grain and vegetables and so on." The owner's answer is certain.

"We have the most advanced thermostatic growing system in the whole of the North here."

Yanan suddenly remembered that this world could not be cultivated on the vast plains, and could only rely on the poor suburbs of the city, so it was reasonable that the city was an outright agricultural city.

"Therefore, the food of the small half of the north depends on us Yuser to provide it." The owner continued to chatter, and Yanan suddenly felt that the world had become absurd.

The elegance and orderliness of the city compared to Bakir gave Yanan a huge shock, and by the time he reacted, the carriage had already left the city and was heading on a dirt road in the suburbs.

"Ah, little brother, you finally reacted, it's really uncomfortable that no one speaks along the way." The owner saw that Yanan was no longer in a daze, and opened the topic again.

"I'm sorry, I was in a daze just now, how long will it take to get to Radti?" Yanan: I'm sorry.

"It's normal, although there are many industrial cities like ours in the country, there are really few such big ones. Probably tomorrow morning we will be in Radtit. ”

On the next journey, Yanan and the owner chatted without stubble, and soon it was dusk. The owner stopped the carriage, took out a large tent from the carriage, and covered Yanan and the horse in it, and then took out a strip of silver powder.

"What is this?" Yanan asked the owner of the car who was throwing powder around the tent.

"Little brother, haven't you seen it, this is a high-level exorcism fan of the church, and the money you paid is definitely worth it." The owner patted the bag and was full of confidence.

After eating dry food, the owner got into the tent before it was completely dark, and snored after a while, Yanan did not have the habit of going to bed early, and the closed dark tent made him very uncomfortable, but he was told by the owner not to open the tent door, he could only close his eyes and wait for sleepiness to come.

The wind howled around the tent, but it quickly dispersed; Yanan seemed to hear someone whispering, and when he wanted to hear it clearly, he got farther and farther away; With the whirring breath of the horse, Yanan finally suffered tomorrow.

As soon as the sky was dark, the owner packed his things and hit the road.

Yanan collected some silver powder on the ground, put it close to his nose and smelled it, there was a faint fishy smell.

The carriage continued to drive for several hours, and Yanan could already see the ridges of the city of Radti.

"Okay, little brother, Radti has arrived, I hope to see you next time." The carriage took Yanan to the market in the city of Radji. And left. Radti is more like a small town than Uther, with a mix of wood and brick and stone architecture, which adds a touch of simplicity to the place.

Yanan did not rush to Hombeck, but found a tavern.

The Viscount's letter did not contain much useful information, and from the letter, it appeared that the Viscount had only investigated a few survivors. The disappearance of the workers lasted for a while, and it was difficult to even block the news, and since this kind of thing happened in the Viscount's domain, it had a great impact on his prestige, and Yanan needed an information channel other than the Viscount.

Yanan was lucky, as soon as he entered the tavern door, he heard someone talking in a low voice.

"Well, well, have you heard, someone is missing from the Hombeck silver mine again."

"Really? I heard that the viscount was too greedy and angered the gods of the underground, and used silver to swallow anyone who dared to mine silver. Three men whispered at the table.

"The worker who went down the mine is out of luck, and he should find trouble with the viscount." One of the men looked disgruntled.

"Shh The other two men glared at the speaker.

"Don't take us with you if you talk nonsense."
